I went to visit Paul y'day evening, and considering what he's been through over the past few days, both psychically and mentally, he seemed suprisingly like the chap we all know and love.
We shared some laughs, I showed him some footage of a recent trip to NY, which had caught Kattt on film, his eyes lighting up, and generally he was remarkably attentive and high-spirited.
As James mentioned, his stubborness was there to see, which can only be a good thing. When the nurse asked if she could put the table across his bed so that he could eat - Eat? Paul? - It was met with a firm "no", and you could see she wasn't going to be asking twice.
Then there was a bloke in the bed opposite him who was clearly in a lot of discomfort, was crying and begging for the nurse to give him something to ease it. Paul told me that he'd just come in that day, and "was a prick". I couldn't help but chuckle. He's such a pragmatic trooper it's ridiculous.
Anyway, it was great to see him, and I know any visit by friends is a welcome break from his time on the ward.
He was of course particularly keen to see females.
Rest up fiddy...
See ya soon.
